As far as I can find, that printer requires the software to run on a
computer, and won't work over a wireless network.... Even the HP wireless
printer thing won't support that device...
While they do make usb to ethernat adapters, don't see how you can even use
one of them since the printer requires the software for it to run on a
computer....
Fraid that's been my experience with the majority of the elcheapo ink jet
printers.... Bummer... you can get em for undr $50, but then you need
several hundred bucks of more stuff to make it work wirelessly!
